Andy gives the WASPI Whiners some truth pills on their Facebook page, they now limit who can comment on the post announcing the government’s rejection of their miserable campaign.
The WASPI Whiners’ Facebook page is here. Their latest piece links to a BBC piece titled, “Ministers reject Waspi calls for comepnsation after rethink”. If you look under the photo of a Waspi Whiner you’ll see that “Andrew Johnston and 274 others” have upvoted the piece, i.e. they regard the story as good news. He posted the following comments, among others:
“Finally, the mardy-arsed WASPI women have had justice served to them. Such is your selfishness and pure entitlement, you actually thought you were going to get something. And I myself thought the gynocentric system was going to give it.
As women, with your naturally longer lifespans, did you ever raise the issue in the past that women on average received 22 years of state pension, compared to 12 years for men? Did you ever raise the issue of ‘State Pension Inequality’ when you were the beneficiaries of it ?
As for your argument about not having enough notice, that is pure rationalisation and purely subjective. If something is wrong, it needs to be put right as quickly as possible. So, show some humility, move on and grow up !”
As you can see, WASPI have responded to Andy’s comments by limiting who can make further comments on the piece. A small victory, but a satisfying one. Andy, well done!!!

Snell v Network Rail – Employment Tribunal finds that sex discrimination occurred when employer refused to pay partner during parental leave
Our thanks to Graham for this. The end of the piece on the website of Redmans, the law firm acting on behalf of Mr Snell:
“Chris Hadrill, a specialist employment solicitor at Redmans, commented on the case: “This is the first recorded case of discrimination based upon a shared parental leave policy. Employers should check their policies regularly to ensure that they are in compliance with legal and regulatory standards, as well as to ensure that they are not discriminatory in any respect.” “
Graham writes:
“Hi Mike, I found the article interesting.
I’ve linked to Snell v Network Rail, in which an employer was found to have discriminated against a man in relation to paternity pay. On its face, the outcome is uncontroversial: sex is a protected characteristic, and men should be entitled to equal pay and equal treatment where the law provides for it.
However it does appear that Employment Tribunals are less focused on enforcing equality between the sexes, and more concerned with advancing a broader policy agenda framed around improving women’s outcomes, even where that results in less favourable treatment for men.
In that context, I wonder whether this case was able to succeed precisely because equal paternity pay is not ultimately intended to achieve equality for men, but rather to facilitate women’s career and pay progression by encouraging men to take on greater caring responsibilities.
Where a claim by a man aligns with that broader objective, it appears capable of being upheld; where it does not, I wonder whether the same principles of equality, under the EqA 2010 would be applied.
It raises the question as to whether tribunals are acting as neutral arbiters of equality under the law, or whether their approach has shifted to a form of outcome driven positive discrimination.
Regards,
Graham”

Universal basic income could be used to soften hit from AI job losses in UK, minister says
Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“The next feminist issue. Ignoring the obvious that if the numbers of people in work fall so does the tax take, and the ability to give away taxpayers’ money. But if one follows where the “axe” it likely to fall it is in industries with a lot of routine admin occupations, and of course such routine office jobs (with flexibility, work/life balance, air conditioning etc.) are filled by females. In the US the contraction in such jobs has been more than matched by new productive jobs. But here …… well not so so far. So how to protect all these redundant females ? Just hand out a universal benefit to them! As the cushy jobs contract expect a feminist outcry, specially as it’ll effect “journalism” which these days consists of cutting and pasting reports from agencies, press releases or social media.”

Ministers reject Waspi calls for compensation after rethink
Good news. The miserable women at the Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) group should hang their heads in shame (but won’t, of course). On learning of the government’s decision, Angela Madden, who chairs the group, said, “Wah! Wah! Wah! It’s not fair!!!” then kicked a puppy into a fast-flowing river.
